“Israel’s IC manufacturing primarily focuses on specialty analog, mixed-signal, and silicon photonics foundries rather than high-volume, leading-edge digital logic. The ecosystem is heavily defined by a robust fabless and R&D sector, alongside two major domestic manufacturing facilities”
so, probably the advanced specialty ones are their own: “photonics” ICs are the tip-off regarding focused beam weapons ...
To my understanding, leading photonic IC’s are currently being manufactured by Intel, IBM, and Cisco.
...I suppose my point is more, China didn’t develop the processors, neither the schematic nor the manufacturing. They’re putting existing, non-Chinese, processors together in a proprietary system architecture.
